Bear Awareness Week


I did not make this up.

Last week was National Bear Awareness Week.  

Really.

I was reading one of our magazine subscriptions, State That Produced Papa Bear Wildlife, and learned this very interesting fact.  Apparently, this holiday (if it isn't a holiday, it should be!) was started in 2001 by Defenders of Wildlife.  

The article advises everyone to "become bear aware". 

It seems that this blog is not only for entertainment anymore.  It also offers life saving public service announcements*.  Just doin' my part, bears.

Also, according to the folks-in-the-know, "if you see a bear, the best thing to do is back away slowly, especially if it has not seen you."  Most people who've met Mama Bear would probably agree with that.

From the Four Bears in the Bed Family, we say thank you for visiting this blog and becoming more "bear aware".

*This public service announcement is in no way connected to any legitimate, worthwhile causes.  Nor is it endorsed by or endorsing anything (other than visiting this site again).
